Vaden in the community
Vaden Automotive opened its doors in 1968 under founding father, Dan Vaden. Mr. Vaden's belief that the "customer signs our paychecks" remains the cornerstone of The Vaden Way. Dan's daughter, Jane Vaden Thacher, carries that legacy torch today and encourages employee participation in grassroots efforts supporting "Education and Literacy". Through Community Partnerships in all the communities we do business like Brunswick, Jesup, Waycross, and Savannah; Vaden stands firmly committed to making an impact not only today, but for many years to come.
Why? Because Vaden Cares.
